The Bushwick Starr and Van Cougar present the world premiere of Gonna See a Movie Called Gunga Din. This new play draws from intimate, real-life interviews with United States veterans set against a vivid collage of physical movement culled from classic American war films. Van Cougar, a homegrown company of The Bushwick Starr, presents Gonna See a Movie Called Gunga Din to examine the distance between cinematic depictions of American soldiers and the reality of service men and women.
In this line-by-line reinvention of August Strindberg's classic MISS JULIE, writer and director Robert Cucuzza distills an essential tale of class and sexual power dynamics and transports it to modern-day Pittsburgh. Set during a failed car dealership's liquidation party, CATTYWAMPUS traces the rise and fall of Julie (Jillian Lauren), the owner's wife, as she tries to escape the flaccid clutch of her disinterested husband. She sets out to seduce the unsophisticated detailer, Donnie (D.J. Mendel), and gets much more than what she bargained for-a dance partner, a goofy playmate, a cuckold-maker, and a partner in crime. Determined that Donnie and his restored Ford Pinto are her escape hatch out of married misery, she makes a last ditch effort and gambles it all on his cracked plan to relocate to Florida. But in a world that is so economically out-of-whack, she finds that her dreams of escape are no match for what seems like a predetermined fate.
